Copyright renewals for 1975

Copyright renewals made in 1975 will be available from this page. Renewals in 1975 were classified by category.

Original copyrights date from 1947 and 1948. 1947 copyrights could also be renewed in 1974, and 1948 copyrights could also be renewed in 1976.

The following types of renewal records will be available here:

To see if a book can go online, you may have to check not only the "Books" category, but also the "periodicals" category, if parts of the book first appeared in a periodical, and the "artwork" category if you want to scan any of the illustrations. If the book is a play, check the "Drama" category too.

Copyright renewals also exist for music, film, commercial prints, and certain other categories. We have no immediate plans to digitize these, since we're mainly interested in book renewals at this point. If you want to digitize these, though, contact onlinebooks@pobox.upenn.edu.

A guide to abbreviations used in the records is now available. Other introductory information may be available soon.
